I just purchased my Absolute Animal DC17 Vacuum three days ago. Prior to that I had a filter queen vacuum and a bissel steam cleaner. I try to steam clean at least twice a year with my allergies. Before purchasing the Dyson I decided to vacuum my carpet twice daily for a week just to see if the Dyson was better then my filter queen. I expected it to pick up some dirt even after the constant vacuuming. WELLLLL, in the two days I’ve used the dyson in my living room, dining room and hallway I’ve filled five FULL canisters of dirt and nearly filled a sixth canister. For curiositys sake I decided to try a little of the zorb today and was thoroughly impressed. A little went a LONG way and it really did make a big difference in the high traffic area inside the back door. It left the carpet much fluffier and lifted the pile very nicely. I guess my only complaint would be the owners manual. They really need to put into words how to work different parts of the machine not just show a VERY few pictures. And yes a headlight would be nice but it’s not really a big sacrifice. I’d prefer a machine with no headlight that takes up the dirt to one with a headlight that leaves it behind.
